Computing From the Front Lines

Vista slips again

Unless you missed it earlier this week, Vista has been put back another quarter.

This is starting to be real problem, not just for companies who want to move on from Windows XP, but also for those who waited for the next revision before upgrading. I know, even now, of companies that still use Windows 98 and Windows 2000 because they chose not o upgrade to Windows XP but wait.

Of a larger concern, particularly to Microsoft, are those people at home who are waiting for Vista so they can play Halo 2.

This comes in the same week that Firefox announce they are dropping features from 2.0.

What is it about modern applications and operating systems that make them so prone to delays, and why does it seem to only affect certain companies?

Firefox you can, sort of, understand, as they have limited resources. Bt Microsoft?

Is it feature creep, bugs, or are these companies just to adventurous in their expectations?
